ITunes takes forever to load and freezes my computer.
iTunes has started taking over a half hour or sometimes much more time to load and even to play a song once it is loaded. This started with a previous version of iTunes after doing nothing to my computer except some windows 7 updates. After trying to install the new version of iTunes, it stopped on computing space requirements for literally 4+ hours before completing the install. New version still has the same problems as the last. Task manager shows it as running as soon as i choose to open it, but it takes the window 30 min to 2 hours to open, and just recently another 45 minutes to start playing a song that I clicked on. Once the song eventually started playing, I was able to play other songs like normal, however once I hit a song to stop, it froze my whole computer and I had to restart. iTunes is the only program that acts this way, I have tried at least 13 other programs that open and close normally.
lmao so im not the only windows user to have this same problem.... i have no solutions and i hate to be a rude person and say that none of these other peoples comments seems to work.... you would think apple support would take the time to contact us through this forum and give us their real opinion or actuall help.

Since updating to ios7 my ipad freezes, randomly zooms in and out, black pages that take forever to load and battery charge doesn't last very long. It's very frustrating, is there anything I can do it seems to have a mind of its own
(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings

Facebook games take forever to load and all 'items' never show on screen
i have updated to Firefox (safe mode), have updated flash player and have gone through pages and pages of help articles, but any and all of my facebook games (farmville, petville, farmtown, etc.) take forever to load and after loaded move extremely slowly AND never load fully. Only 1/10 of actual "items" ever load. When I click on the normal things I have to "perform" when playing the game, it takes effect minutes later, never immediately as normal and buildings, gifts, etc., never let me use them at all.....
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start. Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!
It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

My hp notebook 2000 takes forever to load and turn on, moves slow and sometimes cut off
My pc takes forever to load, runs super slow and cuts off occasionally. I constantly have to recover it and that still don't seem to change a thing... is there anything else i can do to make my pc run the way it used too. I just bought it from Wal-Mart brand new last year August. I don't have music or movies or anything downloaded to it so I don't understand what's going on with it. Please help.
Enter BIOS setup by tapping/holding the F10 key immediately after powering on the laptop.Use Diagnostics to test your hard drive & memory.
If you don't have these options in BIOS you should have System Diagnostics accessed immediately after powering on the laptop by tapping the F2 key.

Store takes forever to load and when it does images fail and text is not setup right?
So I thought I had troubles loading the store with itunes, but now I notice it does load just takes forever and when it does the images are broken and the text is linear, not spread correctly like the page would have set it up. I have tried all the proxy/DNS flush suggestions that the site offers, I have even reinstalled intunes. I know it is not my provider because the wife's computer loads the store just fine. My only guess is that there is something I have done to disable itunes from working right or the fact that me and the wife use same provider but are not setup as a home network, any help would be great!
My girlfriend is having the same issue w/ Vista since she updated to iTunes 9. Can't figure out the problem for the life of me and contacted support and they sent me here. Basically the HTML on the store isn't loading properly and it takes forever for the text just to load. Anybody got some suggestions? I'm sure I'm just missing something...

Recently I have been experiencing my downloaded videos and online vids taking a long time to load and when they do, they will only play for a few seconds at best and you have to hit the play icon over and over. Never had this problem before with the 20 plus vids I have any suggestions would be appreciated
I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!! -
Videos and you tube take forever to load and they are freezing up
why are my videos taking a long time to load, also on you tube?
Could be a lot of reasons. The 3 main ones are...
#1 - slow internet connection or access- Speed Test
#2 - Your Adobe Flash Player Software is out of date.
#3 Using an outdated browser or one that constantly needs TLC. -
Computer constantly crashes and now videos take forever to load and play.
When I watch videos, doesn't matter where they come from, my computer hangs like crazy and half the time, I just abandon the video. My computer also crashes constantly, yet everything is updated and in working order. I could be in the middle of reading an article of news and all of the sudden the whole system goes black and blank and then after about 30 seconds the whole computer goes off. I have cleaned it out with canned air and everything recommended. Can I go back to Windows 8 and abandon 8.1 altogether? I need help with these matters and in layman's terms please. Why does this keep happening? What viable solutions are there for all these problems? Nothing started happening until my computer automatically updated with 8.1 and its now been a year of nightmares endlessly. PLEASE HELP.
Helpless and In Need of Fixing
This question was solved.
View Solution.I am no expert but I think there is an issue with Windows updates for 8.1 and HP desktops, my mouse was dragging, sound was staticy with humming and crackling and video would freeze intermittenly . What finally fixed my machine was a full recovery and blocking windows updates. Now my machine is perfect other than the fact that the beats sounds terrible. The beats work fine now they just sound terrible.
